Looking at the attributes of these four military types, Lin Feng sucked in a cold breath. What surprised him was not the strength of the military types, but the consumption of the military types.
The cheapest pikemen required three times the production cost of a farmer, while sword-shield soldiers required five times the production cost of a farmer, and archers required ten times the production cost of a farmer. The most terrifying thing was the cavalry, which only required 20 times the production cost of a farmer!
What was even more terrifying was that the daily consumption was also much higher than that of a farmer!
Moreover, this was only the consumption of food, not including the loss of weapons and equipment.
Putting everything else aside, wouldn't there be some wear and tear during daily training? Especially the arrows of archers, the consumption rate was especially terrifying. Once they started fighting, it would be even more terrifying.
"As expected, a regular army is not that easy to raise!”
"Especially the cavalry!"
Lin Feng shook his head with a bitter smile. He felt the pressure, especially the pressure from the cavalry. Although there was a horse farm building, not only did the horse farm take up a large area, but the food consumed every day was also extremely terrifying. The production was only a level 1 horse farm that could produce 100 horses in three months.
The current him seemed to be rich and overbearing, but he could not form a real cavalry unit. He could only be a scout.
After thinking for a while, Lin Feng felt that he couldn't afford to use all the combat weapons to build his own army.
The most reliable method was to allocate ten farmers to one soldier.
This way, he could greatly reduce his consumption and also quickly increase his military strength. His farmers were not weak either. With a little training, they could go to the battlefield.
The soldiers could serve as basic officers, training farmers and acting as commanders.
After thinking for a while, Lin Feng decided to refer to the Ming army's configuration. This was because the Ming army's configuration was almost the most realistic in the era of cold weapons and hot weapons. When they broke through to the era of firearms, it would not be too late to reorganize the army.
[Small Flag: 10 Peasants and a Warrior form a small flag, totaling 11 people.]
[Main Flag: 2 small flags with spears, 2 small flags with swords and shields, and 1 small flag with bows and arrows. There are a total of 5 small flags, 50 Peasants, 6 Soldiers, a total of 56 people.]
Hundred Households: Two main flags, one small flag, three carriages, two main and deputy hundred households, 110 farmers, 15 soldiers, a total of 125 people.
1,000 households: 10 hundred households, 1 general flag light cavalry scout, 1 general flag logistics farmer, 1200 farmers, 164 soldiers, a total of 1,364 people.
Guards: 3 thousand households, 3 hundred households light cavalry scouts, 3 hundred households logistics farmers, 1 hundred households personal soldiers, commander and deputy commander, 4300 farmers, 669 soldiers, a total of 4969 people.
As an independent infantry combat unit, the guards were no longer fixed. They were deployed according to the target. Perhaps two guards would form a division or three guards would form a division. Above the division, there would be six to twelve guards as an army.
Whether it was a division or an army, they were all formed as field armies.
Of course, this was only Lin Feng's idea. With his current resources, he didn't have the strength to expand an army.
After making the arrangements, Lin Feng decided to set up a Thousand Households Institute first.
A Thousand Households Office, 1200 peasants, 164 soldiers, 40 spearmen, 40 sword-shield soldiers, 35 archers, 49 light cavalry. The main flag and above the main flag were equipped with light cavalry as the commander, and the small flag at the back was equipped with archers.
Because the horse farm was still under construction, the cavalry scouts and the rear banner troops would not be fully equipped for at least three months. The hundred and thousand households of the general banner would also not have horses.
Fortunately, these light cavalrymen could fight on horseback, horse stance, close combat, and long-range attacks.
From the configuration, one could see how much Lin Feng lacked horses at the moment.
He decided that before the horses were produced, he would not attack the land. Instead, he would develop warships and engage in naval warfare in these three months.
He had produced 164 soldiers in one go and spent 165,000 catties of food.
Yiran still had eight million catties of food reserves.
Lin Feng began to expand the shipyard, expand the mining and logging teams, and began to build fishing boats of 100 tons and small warships of 300 tons.
A soldier from the Thousand Households Institute entered the camp and began training.
At the same time, Lin Feng produced another hundred and twenty-five soldiers to protect himself.
Lin Feng placed great importance on his own safety. It could be said that the price of a hundred household guard was almost comparable to an army of a thousand household.
Farms, docks, logging yards, mines, blacksmiths, tailors, construction teams, saltpans, salted fish marinating factories, warehouse management, and brick-kiln factories.
All of this had consumed a large amount of manpower. Fortunately, there was enough food reserves, and Lin Feng could withstand the consumption. From time to time, he produced farmers to replenish the manpower.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the number of farmers began to increase.
From 10,000 to 15,000.
Then, it went to 20,000.
In the end, it broke through 30,000.
Finally, as the fishing team, navy, mine workers, blacksmith workers, equipment manufacturing center workers, tailor shop textile workers, construction workers and other teams formed.
The number of farmers had already exceeded 50,000!
